the streets are neither suspected nor insulted.

'Ae euco'S are neltner suspected nor insured.
This contrast, he thought, was due to the fact
that the streets Of New-York are properly policed
while those Of London are not Mr.. Matthews,
who has grown wonderfully obliging since Tues
days vote, now promises a full inquiry into tho
allegations against the police some of which
everybody knows are true.
Your remark that the cause Of London's social
prlmacy among the cities Of the world is due
largely to the success Of the United States is
discussed by The Manchester Guardian That
Journal dlssents in part from your explanation Of
the cause Of an admitted fact Sober-minded
people, In it's opinion, do not expect to see @
moral union Of the Anglo-Saxon races,
as against all other races, nor an
assimilation of the American to the English
type, or vice versa. We do not says this
sanguine Englishman, "look to America for an
English race: but we see there a population COM
posed OF all races of the earth, yet run into an
English mould, with minds fed on English litera-
ture, looking to England as the central point Of
their intellectual sympathies and interests The
average Briton you perceive. still believes Ameri-
ca is in state of pupilage to the Mother Country
Mr.. Blaines departure from London was super
intended by MIR. Gilig. The result was naturally
deplorable. Mr.. Blaine, presume had no lxnow-
edge Of Mr.. Gillig's proceedings till his arrival
at the station. Then he good humoredly sub
mitted. Somebody blundered also at Edinburgh.
The London papers to-day report that Mr.. Blaine
and Senator Hale refused admission to the
Council Chamber where the freedom of the city
was conferred on Mr.. Carnegie. They had, ac-
cording to this account, received no cards Of
admission, but relied on a verbal invitation
which the Scotch Cerberus declined to recognize.
MIR. Carnegie's magnificent gift of fifty thousand
pounds for library rightly makes him the
hero as well citizen Of Edinburgh Every
kind of honor within the municipal jurisdiction
Is bestowed on this generous American. But
London takes little notice Of what happens beyond
the border.
Society like Parliament is beginning to wonder
whether the weather will prove too much for
It, Men tell you in awe struck whispers that
the Indian Princes themselves think it hot. But
gayeties go on. Even novelties. and successful
novelties, are invented. The Grosvenor Gallery
thanks perhaps TO the success of the recent
ladies evening Of the Gallery Club is becoming
sort OF social headquarters. The Countess of
Crawford and Balcarres gave a party there on
Thursday evening. and MIR. Somerset Beaumont
another last hight. which was gallery of
beauty. Bohemia held festival at St Georges
Hall on Thursday, when Mr. Alfred Reed and
MIR. Corney Grain asked their friends to look in.
They looked in at IL and stayed till next
morning. Bohemia in London now means an
agreeable blend of very fashionable people with
whatever is best in the professional world. An
other novelty which delighted the smarter Sec
tion of London society last night was Lady
Ardilaun's party in Carlton House Terrace Her
fine house served merely an entrance TO the
terrace itself which carpcted furnished and
illuminated with colored lamps There the com
pany sat talked, listened to the Hungarian
band and other music. and wondered at finding
themselves at o'clock in the morning in the
open air. q. WIS.,
